SHARP FU-NC01 Air Purifier-fig1

The number in this technology mark indicates an approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3, which is measured around the center of a room applicable floor area (at 1.2 m height above the floor) when the product is placed on the floor and is operating with MAX mode.

  • Thank you for purchasing this SHARP Air Purifier.
  • Please read this manual carefully before using the product.
  • This manual should be kept in a safe place for handy reference.

Please read before operating your new Air Purifier

  • The air purifier draws in room air through the Air Inlet, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter inside the product, and then discharges it through the Air Outlet. The Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter can remove dust particles and absorb odors as they pass through the filter.
  • Some odors absorbed by the filters will break down over time, causing additional odors. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in environments significantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odors persist, replace the filters.

NOTE

  • The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odors. The air purifier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke.
  • The air purifier may not completely remove an odor if the source of the odor is still present.

  • Adjust or reposition the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the distance between the product and the radio or TV.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the radio or TV receiver.
  • Consult the dealer or a qualified radio or TV technician.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

  • Do not block the Air Inlet or Air Outlet.
  • Do not place the product near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into contact with steam.
  • Always operate the product in an upright position.
  • Do not move the product when it is in operation.
  • If the product is on easily damaged flooring, an uneven surface, or thick-piled carpet, lift it up when moving.
  •  Do not operate the product without the filters properly installed.
  • Do not wash and reuse the Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter. Doing so will not improve filter performance and can also cause electric shock or operating malfunctions.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only. Do not use volatile fluids or detergents. The product surface may be damaged or cracked with Benzine paint thinner, alcohol or polishing powder.
  • Do not scrub the Pre-Filter hard during its maintenance.
  • Do not use the AC adapter for other products.
  • Do not get or lean on the product.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

  • Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the product and interfere with the Air Inlet and Air Outlet.
  • Avoid locations where the product is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
  • Place the product on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation. When placed on heavy carpet, the product may vibrate slightly.
  • Avoid locations with grease, oil smoke, alcohol, hypochlorous acid, or chemicals in the air. Doing so can cause the product exterior to crack.
  • The surrounding walls and floor of the product may become dirty over time. When using the product for an extended period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls and floor adjacent to it.
  • Do not use fluororesin or silicone-containing products (cosmetics, hair care products, etc.,) near the product. The fluororesin or silicone could get stuck inside the product, preventing it from producing Plasmacluster ions.

  • Do not wash the filter. Do not expose to sunlight. (Otherwise these filter may lose efficacy.)
  • Some odors absorbed by the filter will break down over time, causing additional odors. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in environments significantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may become noticeable sooner than expected. Replace the filter in those cases or if dust is unable to be removed after maintenance.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

LIFE OF FILTER

  • Filter life varies depending on the room environment, usage conditions, and location of the product.

  • Lifespan of the Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter and replacement suggestions are based on purifying a room in which 5 cigarettes are smoked per day and the product’s dust collection and deodorizing performance has declined to half the level of a new filter. We recommend replacing the filter more frequently if the product is used in conditions significantly more severe
    (PM2.5 etc.,) than a normal household.

    • The life of the Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter is about 1 year after opening.

REPLACEMENT FILTER MODEL

  • Consult your dealer when purchasing a replacement filter.
  • Two in one dust collection and deodorizing Filter (1 unit) FZ-N15SFE
  • Dispose of used filters according to local laws and regulations. material:
